I thought Pizza Hut meant prosperity and job security for everyone. 
You should always assume that these were planned business decisions made long before any wage increases were certain.
Does Pizza Hut even have their own equivalent of the Dominos Pizza App Experience bullshit? I assume they deliver mostly through Doordash, the ascendant monopoly of prepared food delivery.
corporate response is "akchually those are franchises making their own decisions so this obviously coordinated layoff is just the result of many individual franchise owners coincidentally making the exact same decision"
so yeah
Hey this sounds eerily familiar to when all of the candidates in the 2020 dem primaries dropped out to endorse Biden! Love when they play the hits but this time with people’s livelihoods, great stuff by the bourgeois 👍
planned business decisions
Nooooo we live under Free enterprise! 
In the context of the Pizza Hut layoffs, the California franchises and its customers will rely on third-party delivery apps like Uber Eats, GrubHub and DoorDash for deliveries.
Same product. Same wage rules. Very likely its the same staff, as plenty of these folks hustle between employers as freelance delivery workers. But now PizzaHut accountants get to pretend they don't know how much a pizza delivery is going to cost month-to-month.
Uber comes in, ignores local laws, runs cabs out of business by running a huge debt financing scheme while also doing illegal shit. They build a monopoly. Then they cut wages, increase prices once there's no competition. They do more illegal exploitation shit. Keep running on debt, making no money for years. Just bullying and grinding their way into this position. The end result is that they can now upcharge you for a service you were already getting. Now instead of restaurants and grocers delivering food, you get to pay extra for someone else to do it. Then those workers lose their job and go work for Uber, who will pay them less.
Capitalist efficiency is putting as many businesses in between you and what you want/need as possible. Then cutting your wages so that you can't afford the services you're providing. All so some frat bro in Austin or San Fran can become a god.

Is Uber exempt from the wage laws? I assumed PizzaHut would simply be outsourcing the cost to Uber, creating a surcharge for their food that doesn't appear on their advertised price. They get to tell their investors that they cut costs without actually changing their business model.

More businesses means more growth! More growth means more investment! More investment means more profits! No, I won't explain how or why. This is Econ 101, dummy. Do your own homework.
Is Uber exempt from the wage laws?
There was a big vote about it in California in 2020: whether or not app-based jobs counted as employees and had to be given minimum wage protections. Uber spent record amounts of money on it and the hogs in Southern California need their treats so it went down in flames.
Truly ghoulish
Also those ads Uber spent all that money on did their best to completely flip the issue around and portrayed the minimum wage laws as some kind of attack on the gig workers. After the proposition passed there were a bunch of I-regret-my-vote stories like after Brexit.
Maybe - if the minimum wage law in question only applies to restaurant employees, or employees generally, as Uber eats drivers are independent contractors, not employees.
As if they weren’t already itching to get rid of more labor
Working as intended. This new law wasn't to help workers, it was made to benefit small California business owners against the big national monopolies encroaching on their territory
California and CA cities like SF have tons of protectionist laws. Helps to keep more money inside the state and the law writers get more support from their constituents
Pizza Hut is dying and you're laughing 
So their plan is to outsource delivery to doordash? I stopped getting delivery cuz the fees were killing me. Won't this make it more difficult to compete against the other chains? What could i be missing?
Fr who can afford this shit? Is the economy being held together by overpaid yuppies and duct tape at this point?
Yes
America is set up as a treat playground for comfortable managerial types to never feel a moment of tension in their whole lives. One of my managers the other week was complaining about DoorDash prices, then revealed he's paying over $1000 a month on it. These people don't live in the same reality as normal people.
Their existence is extremely amplified as well, it seems
There's a reason there are so many companies marketing multi-thousand-dollar bazinga gizmos and making a fortune.
Pizza hut has always been the worst pizza I have no idea how they still exist
I have memories of it being good in the 90s but that's probably just childhood nostalgia. We would have to consult a comrade older than I for verification.
Was it Pizza Hut or Little Ceasars that had a marketing campaign about how their food was garbage but they were now changing them so they were edible.
That was Domino's actually.
It's hard to keep track of all the shitty pizza franchises ngl.
I still get diarrhea every time I eat Domino's, Pizza Hut, or Little Caesars
Pizza hut was obsolete the second Dominos started putting garlic salt on their crust.
I don’t know if this is anti-worker but I do hope just about every overpriced big box chain store goes under. The whole YUM foods brand doesn’t need to exist. I think restaurants are cool and good but we don’t need 12 different locations of the same joint pizza joint within a three block radius. Same goes for Starbucks and all the “treat” franchises
Start burning down dunkin donuts
Not the dunky dunks! 
Exactly! I think there is nothing wrong with bakeries and restaurants and stuff, people should very much enjoy cuisine and act of eating. However all of this MEGACORP eateries all serve the same calorie sludge and really make a mockery of eating.
No one wants to work anymore
